Heather & Amos Wedding – Bride Groom Bouquet Chuppah – William Vale – Jovon Photography

When Heather first met Amos the Thursday before Memorial Day in 2008, she knew there was something special about him. “I work in the spirits industry and was doing a tasting in the Hamptons during the holiday weekend.
